Mills and I have a mutual friend. That friend put me in touch with Mills during pre-season so I could ask him some (polite) questions about his role with the intention of enlightening readers of my blog.

I did not receive a reply, not even a 'sorry, no comment.' My first impressions of people are rarely wrong and I suspect this instance is no different.

So is it official NYA that we are blaming Mills? Because I am already sick of everyone keep going on about Alan Pardew and Les Reed. Get over it. We are not having anyone else as our manager for the foreseeable future, so leave the poor man alone.
